Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D
ValueC- NeedA- TradesF FutureA+
A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a D weekend for the Vikings.

The Vikings spent real capital to be 37 picks early on J.J. McCarthy, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. J.J. McCarthy is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. Washington falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 9th overall pick they get a franchise quarterback, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick11 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at No. 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Nothing to complain about; Jalen McMillan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Steele Chambers
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Steele Chambers well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
The board fumbled Tahj Washington all the way to pick No. 219, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at Round 7, Pick 25 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
